Default Canopy latch installation completed

I installed some canopy latches from F3A Unlimited on my 50cc SBach 342. I'm pleased with the results (the original screw holes have since been covered over).

Thanks!

Based on the experience of a user in another forum I got these from F3A Unlimited. They appear to be very well made.

Nice job! Those bolts/screws never seem to line up perfectly anyway. And your latches take no time at the field. Jon

Thanks! Harder to forget the latches at home too.
